2 SERVICING BRIEF Bank Street Ottawa, Ontario The following Servicing Brief is a description of the services of a proposed five-storey residential building with ground floor commercial development located on 303 sq.m. of land Bank Street at the corner of Florence Street in Ottawa. Refer to drawing SG-1 (Revision 6: Dec 13-11), prepared by D. B. Gray Engineering Inc. Water Supply for Fire Fighting: There is an existing fire hydrant located in the sidewalk on the west side of Bank Street, approximately 41m from the main entrance. A fire demand of 3,600 L/min (60 L/sec) at 138 kpa is required as per "Required Minimum Water Supply Flow Rate" as calculated using the Ontario Building Code - Appendix A - Article A "Water Supply for Fire Fighting". To determine if an adequate water supply for firefighting is available, the boundary conditions, based on the City of Ottawa computer simulation of the water distribution system in this area, are required. Water Service: The proposed building will be sprinklered. To service the sprinklers a 150mm water service is proposed. The proposed water service will connect to a proposed 203mm municipal watermain in Florence Street Based on the AWWA water flow demand curve, an estimated water pressure at the meter of 414 kpa (60 psi), the peak demand is expected to be 314 L/min (5.24 l/s - 83 USgpm). The AWWA method calculates the instantaneous demand and is used to size the water service. This peak demand will produce a low velocity of 0.3m/s in the proposed 150mm water service connection. Based on the City of Ottawa and Ministry of the Environment Design Guidelines the daily average flow is 0.12 l/s with a maximum daily and maximum hourly demand of 1.17 and 1.76 L/min respectively. To determine water pressure under these demands, the boundary conditions, based on the City of Ottawa computer simulation of the water distribution system in this area, are required. In summary, we request the boundary conditions for Bank Street / Florence Street based on the following: Average daily demand: 0.12 l/s. Maximum daily demand: 1.17 l/s. Maximum hourly daily demand: 1.76 l/s Fire Flow demand: 60 l/s (3,600 l/min) Sanitary Service: Based on the City of Ottawa Sewer Design Guidelines for a residential property (16 one bedroom apartment units 1.4 persons per unit 350 l/person/day 4.0 peaking factor) and 227 sq.m. of commercial 50,000 l/ ha / day; 1.5 peaking factor); and a 0.28 l/s/ha infiltration flow) the post development flow is calculated to be 0.39 l/s. This flow will be adequately handled by the proposed sanitary sewer service 1% l/s capacity). The proposed sanitary sewer service will connect to a proposed 750 x 900mm brick municipal combined sewer in Florence Street. The increase in sanitary flows contributing to this sewer is expected to have a negligible impact. Stormwater: Infrastructure Approvals staff advised that the following stormwater management criteria are to be used: The release rate for post-development storm events is equal to or less than the flow produced by a five year storm using a runoff coefficient of 0.40 and a 20 minute time of concentration. (See Stormwater Management Report No SWM, dated December 13, 2011, prepared by D. B. Gray Engineering Inc.) The flowrate from the flow control roof drains during a one in five year storm event will produce a peak flow of 1.34 l/s which will be adequately handled by a proposed storm sewer connection 1.0% l/s capacity). The unrestricted flowrate resulting from one in five year storm event will produce a peak flow of 7.9 l/s which would also be adequately handled by a proposed storm sewer connection. The proposed storm sewer service will connect to a proposed 750 x 900mm brick municipal combined sewer in Florence Street. The increase in storm flows contributing to this sewer is expected to have a negligible impact Since the stormwater management facility will be discharging into a combined sewer, a Certificate of Approval from the Ministry of the Environment will be required. 2

3 Conclusions: 1. Boundary conditions are required to determine if there is an adequate water supply for fire fighting. 2. Boundary conditions are required to determine if the existing water pressure is adequate for the proposed development. 3. Boundary conditions are required to determine if the water pressure can be above 80 psi and if a pressure reducing valve is required. 4. The proposed water service connection is adequately sized to serve the development. 5. The expected sanitary sewage flow will be adequately handled by the proposed sanitary sewer service connection. 6. The increase in sanitary flows contributing to the existing municipal combined sewer is expected to have a negligible impact. 7. The stormwater quantity control is based on the criteria release rate for post-development storm events is equal to or less than the flow produced by a five year storm using a runoff coefficient of 0.40 and a 20 minute time of concentration 8. The restricted and unrestricted flowrate produced by a one in five year storm event and will be adequately handled by a proposed storm sewer. 9. The increase in stormwater flows contributing to the existing municipal combined sewer is expected to have a negligible impact. 10. It is expected that a Ministry of Environment Certificate of Approval will be required because we are connecting into a combined sewer. 3
